Ahhh! The all American Hamburger. Most fast food joints, sit down restaurants, picnic or home dinner tables will have hamburgers on the menu. From pan fried to barbequed, these popular sandwiches are a favorite. Most commonly served with pickles & french fries. However, potatoe salad, deviled eggs, onion rings potatoe chips and garden salads make great side dishes also.

Simply put... Heavenly! This simple and scrumptious cake is fun to share. Can you say CHOCOLATE HEAVEN? I have changed the recipe a bit and I used regular chocolate frosting instead of this glaze. This and more recipes available at Kraft Recipes

This dinner idea makes for a very fun evening. It's works best with at least three family's, whom all live fairly close. Great for
neighborhoods. Each course will be prepared & served at each
family's home.~Choose a home to begin, and serve appetizers. Shrimp Cocktail works well. You may also choose to have salad and bread here.
~The second home will serve the main course. I suggest a meat dish, (Spinach Steak works well and can be prepared in advance.) with rice or baked potato and a vegetable. Have this menu prepared & ready to heat & eat.
~The third home will serve desserts. Choose a dessert that best compliments your choice of menu. If a hearty, filling main course is served, try a minty dessert. I will settle a full tummy.
~If a fourth home is interested, you might have them throw out a deck of cards or a game for entertainment. Either serve nuts or munchies. Or a late night snack such as mini pizzas.
~You may want to go with a theme party. These can be costume, sports, holiday or 20's, 50's, 70's etc. Be creative.

Enjoy!

Sliders

These are deliciously fun and always a hit. Simply take 1 lb. ground beef and add 1 package dry ranch dressing mix. Mix well. Form hamburger patties but make them small (about 4") and thin. Place in hot skillet and sprinkle garlic atop, flipping once. In separate skillet, brown thinly slided onions with a dab of butter. Place patties and onions on mini slider buns. You can grill buns or simply cover for a moment once together to steam the buns. Add cheese if you wish on top of pattie after flipping. Pile them on a platter and watch how fast they disappear.Enjoy!Back to top

Mix well and add vinegar mixture. Mix well and serve with favorite nacho chips. *I like to add chopped red pepper to this recipe also. *You may also add chopped cilantro.Enjoy!Back to top

Open can of bisquits and separate. Pull each flaky bisquit in half to make 2 mini crusts. Lay flat on lightly greased cookie sheet. Spread 1 tbl. pizza sauce on each crust. Pinch fair amount of cheese, sprinkle over sauce. Lay 1 large round pepperoni on top. Bake in 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until crusts are lightly browned. These mini pizzas are fun for kids to make. However, they go quickly at adult parties too. Other toppings such as green pepper, onion, ham, pineapple, bacon, black olives or Italian sausage are equally as yummy.

While cooking with these recipes, please keep in mind, most of them are spiced to my liking. Feel free to add more or go lighter on the spices. When I try new recipes, I might omit something I do not care for or add extra amounts if I favor that particular ingredient. However, be careful with baking ingredients, such as those like flour, baking soda, baking powder, eggs and so on. The result in a cake rising properly may be disappointing. With that said, have fun and enjoy!

Arrange *fondue pot in center of table. Each guest should have fondue forks and a plate. As with any fondue, please supervise when serving to avoid burns or fire. Melt chocolate chips first , in double boiler or in sauce pan on low heat. Watch closely as not to burn chocolate. Transfer into fondue pot. Keep sterno on low to med heat so chocolate does not burn. Prepare dippers. Slice bananas into bite size pieces. Wash fruit. Cut up angel food cake & Rice Crispy treats into bite size pieces. Set dippers in dishes near fondue pot. Dip and let cool a bit before eating. Be creative, you can dip anything that can be skewed into the chocolate. Enjoy!*A small crock pot works well as a fondue pot.
